Subj: London Press Observation...
I love the foreign press' way of looking at us! I remember during Watergate
when the Paris based newspaper "Le Monde" commented that "obviously the secrets
of the Democratic Party were not well protected..." And now this!
Dave
The following is a great read. It clearly displays that many Brits have a
better understanding of Sarah Palin than the Americans who have bought into the
Barack Hussein Obama Magical Mystery Show.
This is really entertaining press writing - London Daily Mail editorial on
Sarah Palin
Finally a little humor in all this mess London Daily Mail A pistol packin'
Looby Loo: the Left's worst nightmare Frank Sinatra would have got the joke. In
the words of the great political philosopher, they all laughed at Christopher
Columbus when he said the world was round.
They're all laughing, too, at John McCain for choosing Sarah Palin as
his running mate. The usual suspects took one look at this pistol-packin'
momma and reacted like John McEnroe to a disputed line call: you cannot
be serious!
Certainly, the pick came, as the Americans say, out of left field. But Sarah
Palin is centre stage now, and suddenly it's game on. Stern, God-fearin',
gun-totin' Sarah Palin. Will she get the last laugh? At the very least, McCain
has got a wonderful sense of mischief - a quality sadly lacking in most
politicians.
The way the Left, both here and in America , are contorting themselves is a
joy to behold. Sarah Palin is every Guardianista's worst nightmare.
It's reminiscent of how they used to patronize Mrs Thatcher 30 years ago.
What did this small-town girl know about anything? How could any woman expect
to run a country and raise a family? What does she know about foreign affairs?
Of course, they weren't saying that a woman couldn't be Prime Minister, you
understand. Just not this woman.
Shirley Williams would have been fine, but this ghastly, lower middle class
Snobby Roberts woman from Grantham, of all places - AAARGH! It's been hilarious
watching the sisterhood tie themselves in knots over Sarah Palin.
They've been in full Glenda Slagg mode - dontcha just hate her, dontcha
just love her? On the one hand she's a feisty, capable woman shaking up the
political establishment, while juggling a family and career. I don't know how
she does it.
But on the other, she's a Godfearing, gun-totin', good ol' girl. She
hunts, she fishes - she's a Republican, for goodness' sake. Sarah Palin is
every red-blooded redneck's fantasy figure, every randy schoolboy's Mrs
Robinson. She could have stepped straight out of one of long-lost cousin
Michael's Ripping Yarns. Cheerleader, beauty queen, dominatrix of the Harper
Valley PTA, mother of five, mayor, governor and now a heartbeat away from the
Vice-Presidency.
You couldn't make her up. Law And Order's Fred Thompson, once a presidential
candidate himself, hit the baby seal on the head when he said the Left were in
a blind panic over what to do about Palin.
Joke's on you left-leaners: John McCain, displaying a sense of mischief
rare inpolitics, with his choice of Sarah Palin, surrounded by her family, as
his running-mate What they are doing is what they usually do when confronted
with something which offends their world view - character assassination. Every
'liberal' newspaper and TV network has sent hatchet men north to Alaska to dig
for the dirt beneath the tundra. What they discovered is that 80 per cent of
Alaskans think she's doing a great job.
A supermarket tabloid is claiming she had an affair, which she denies. Apart
from that, the worst the scandal-hounds have come up with is that Palin, as
governor, put pressure on a police chief to fire her former brother-in-law.
Given that said brother-in-law had beaten up her sister and threatened to kill
her father, I'd say that far from abusing her office, she showed considerable
restraint. I'm surprised she didn't put a bullet in his head.
The big talking point is the pregnancy of Palin's 17-year-old daughter,
Bristol , who is soon to marry her boyfriend. That's what I call a shotgun
wedding! Still, it kills the wild rumour that Bristol is really the mother of
Palin's Down's syndrome baby, Trig.
You've just got to like a woman who calls her son after a character in
Only Fools And Horses. Although it's probably fair to assume she doesn't have a
working knowledge of Cockney rhyming slang, otherwise her daughter would never
have been christened Bristol .
When Palin talks about shattering the glass ceiling, the sisters are
supposed to cheer - except most of them suspect her idea of shattering a glass
ceiling would be with a both barrels blast from a 12 gauge-bore.
She epitomizes the 'God and guns' mentality at which Barack Obama and his
supporters sneer. They use 'small town' as a pejorative term. That's not how
Middle America sees it. John Mellencamp wrote his hit song " Small Town " as an
ironic take on Hicksville , USA . He even performed it at an Obama rally
earlier this year.
Back at you: Democrats say Sarah lacks the experience for the top job - but
so do Barack Hussein Obama and Biden But that hasn't stopped Middle Americans
adopting it as an anthem. Mellencamp must be just as horrified as Springsteen
was when Ronald Reagan purloined his anti-war Born In The USA as a campaign
song.
It's not that the Americans don't do irony, as European 'sophisticates'
always maintain. It's just that sometimes, my dear, they don't give a damn. A
good song is a good song - and to hell with the message. Most Americans were
born and raised in a small town. Her values are their values.
The mantra from the Obama camp is that she lacks the experience to be VP. In
truth, she has more executive experience than either Obama or his Neil
Kinnock-impersonator sidekick mate Joe Biden, NEITHER OF WHOM HAS EVER ACTUALLY
RAN ANYTHING!
But, wail the sceptics, what about foreign affairs? Admittedly, Palin has
never slagged off her country at a mass rally in Berlin. But Alaska's next door
to Russia. She's got more experience of dealing with Russians than anyone
outside of corporate hospitality at Stamford Bridge
Who is Putin more likely to be wary of - Barack 'we must negotiate with
dictators' Obama, or Looby Loo packing heat? To paraphrase the Duke of
Wellington , I don't know what she does to the enemy, but she scares the life
out of me. Palin reminds me of the old joke about what's the difference between
the IRA and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with the IRA.
What she does have in spades is experience of the energy industry - he
number one concern right now. Palin would drill, drill and drill some more -
polar bears or no polar bears. And when the oil companies got greedy, she
imposed a windfall tax. Unlike Gordon Brown, who'd keep it, she gave every
Alaskan a $1,200 rebate.
With all the hoop-la, it's easy to forget that she's running for
Vice-President, not President. Not yet. Sarah Palin: The next Margaret
Thatcher? Time will tell... That's what really frightens her condescending
opponents. Not that we've a leg to stand on in Britain . We've got Harriet
Harman a chewed fingernail away from the top job - and she's never shot a moose
in her life. (Give her time???)
Remember, they all laughed at Margaret Thatcher. But ho, ho, ho, who had the
last laugh?
